Pakistani pilots forced to flee the country
Pakistan International Airlines on the verge of closure
Islamabad, The effect of Pakistan's poverty is now visible in every field. The Pakistan Parliament's Standing Committee on Aviation was informed on Thursday that a large number of pilots have left the country in the recent past. Aamir Hayat, CEO of the bankrupt government airline Pakistan International Airlines, told that 15 pilots have left the country recently. Hayat said that PIA wants to recruit new pilots but is unable to get approval. Committee Chairman Senator Hidayatullah said that the future of those who dream of becoming a pilot may be in jeopardy.
License of 141 pilots suspected
Actually, Pakistan has stopped the dollars of many foreign airline companies, so now these companies are asking Pakistani customers to buy tickets by paying in dollars. The Senate committee has also been told that passengers are using VPNs to buy tickets. Due to this, they are getting tickets at a lower price than the tickets bought in Pakistan. Pakistan has increased taxes on a large scale to remove poverty. Not only this, it also came to light in the committee meeting that the licenses of 141 pilots of Pakistan International Airlines are suspicious.
PIA owes billions of rupees
Earlier it had come to light that many Pakistani pilots had obtained airline pilot's license by paying money. After this, the flight of many pilots was banned. During this, the case of fake degrees of pilots also came to the fore. PIA said that many pilots have been caught with fake degrees and have been sacked. During this, it was also revealed that Pakistan's government airline PIA has to pay dues of billions of rupees.
